Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sehene waited her 'turn' and burst through the door with the others, cringing as the shots echoed through the metal halls and pinged off the doors. She shot at least five of them, and probably killed at least two before they had realized where their enemies were coming from, and was forced to back away as more of the beasts poured from the doorway that they needed to get to.

Soon after the Grenades went off and the new group arrived, the previously stunned lizards opened fire. The creatures had not been expecting anything for quite a long while at least, thinking that their lower defences would be enough. But now, there were thirty or so in the corridor, all firing downrange at the two squads, CIU 215 getting the worst of it, being farthest forward. Kai's makeshift shield was indeed enough to stop the blasts from the Dross and Beater rifles, and the sheer number of lizards made kills easy for the Terrans, but by that same token, they were in trouble. Blasts flew about, hitting anyone not in cover. Sehene was grazed all over, but suffered no major hits, while Jack got a nice shot straight to his chest plate. The armor did it's job, keeping him alive, but the small explosion from the blast superheating and turning part of the armor suit into gas was enough to knock anyone off their feet. The doorway was being targetted as well, it's edges eating away, and anyone still inside would have a tough time getting out without being hit.

"Captain Nakamura here, I'm in charge of this group" Kai replied, before nodding to the corporal's addition of 6 soldiers. "we're almost to the ship's control center. If we get there, we can radio command to send our backup in. Sure glad you brought us some help, we're in some trouble as it is." Kai said, motioning towards the large number of enemies ahead of them.

Thomas was still in the doorway; he hadn't taken his chance and now even with his armor he didn't think it would be safe to move. Instead he leaned a not-insubstantial piece of shoulder and head out to get accurate shots, and he was getting plenty. He emptied one, two batteries before even really thinking about what to do next. "Can we put some grenades back there?" he shouted, apparently unfazed by Jenkins going down. "If we can thin down to maybe ten or so, I could just charge!"

Hendlow was fresh out of grenades. He brought the pack around and began rummaging past the disabled explosives. He needed something to clear the doorway for Thomas, but he was having trouble finding anyth--
"Yes!" He withdrew from the bottom of the pack one of his personally crafted devices, armed it, and tossed it amidst the Drathonians. The electromagnetic blast fried the brains and stopped the hearts of six Drathonians. Two others were dazed and crumpled, incapable of properly maintaining their motor skills. The rest were behind cover, so he could no longer do them any harm. "I did what I could, Thomas," he called across the opening.

Sehene squirmed inside her armour as the gunfire left little scratches, and in some cases dents. She ignored the damage for the moment and continued to fire on them, shuffling back a few steps and gaining her visual focus before downing a few more.

She sprung forwards on the Captains count, shooting rapidly as many as she could get to. She quickly replaced her charge while running towards two of them, and rammed into them with her shoulder while clicking it into place. She then pointed her gun up and unleashed the fire into the Drathonians, who, surprised by her physical attack were caught unaware and killed by the bullets piercing the skin underneath their necks. They slid to the ground, almost taking her with them, and with a grunt she kicked one in the face before heading onwards.

In ust the first few moments of the insane Terran blitz, CIU 215 managed to cut down ten of the twenty remaining Lizards, evening the odds, but now a few soldiers were stuck in the midst of the remaning lizards, at a severe disadvantage to the larger, burlier, scaly-tailed Drathonians. Kai had hung back slightly, using the front side of the Drathonian cover to cover himself, and fired point blank from a crouched position on the confused Drathonians who were otherwise distracted by several Terrans, and pumped a Sniper blast through one's head and into the chest of another. Thomas was quickly bowled over after distracting himself with talk, while Sehene managed to kick herself free. One of the Oscar elemnt soldiers was likewise taken down, but used the position to his advantage to open up on the softer underbellies of his enemies. All in all, the blitz had been successful so far, leaving no more Terrans dead (seeing as the very fact the squishy pinkies even ran at the clearly superior Drathonian soldiers had left dumstruck looks and puzzlement on the faces and minds of these "superior" lizards)

Garrett had maintained the position of a supporting role all his life, and as Kai called for a rush, he knew that again he would be needed to supply support to his fellow Marines: in this case, it was cover fire after the initial rush. As the Marines began to clear out, he began laying down suppressive fire on any Drathonian that so much as stuck a talon out in the open. This brought about the demise of a couple lizards, and left a few others with minor injuries, but Garrett wasn't counting like he usually was. He was just trying to keep his fellow Terrans alive.

Dante awoken from his panicked state as he heard his name get called. As he gathered his thought together, he felt ashame of his actions and regain control of his breathing. God damn I'm pathetic. I just froze there while everyone fought and risked there lives. I can say this though, I'm glad no one saw me like that. Dante got up and jogged to the door with a dishearten look in his eyes. He aproched the door and started to get to work on the door. “Give me a few minutes the lizards know a little more then I realized.” Dante worked at a slightly slower pace then he did hacking into the outer level computer.
